Flow Cytometry Friday: Profiling a Killer at the Scene of the Crime NK cells are the immune system’s rapid-response team—swiftly recognizing and eliminating infected or transformed cells. But assessing their killing potential requires precision. In our latest blog, Senior Biotechnology Professional Darcey L. Clark breaks down the evolution of the Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity Assay and how flow cytometry transformed it. • From Radioactivity to Fluorescence — Early chromium release assays set the standard, but came with drawbacks. Flow cytometry offered a safer, faster, and more standardized alternative. • Multi-Parametric Power — Modern flow-based NK assays don’t just measure cytotoxicity—they also allow for detailed phenotyping, cytokine analysis, and functional profiling. • Human + NHP Applications — TD2’s assay supports both human and non-human primate samples and is already in use in collaboration with the CDC for disease studies. Explore how TD2 applies these advanced cytometry tools to support immune function analysis in clinical and preclinical settings: https://hubs.li/Q03f_l750 #FlowCytometry #ImmunoOncology #PreclinicalResearch
